The living room had the radio on all afternoon because they were listening to the news. The volume was only reduced slightly because Jiang Yao, the pregnant woman, wanted to nap.
It was probably because the birthday girl was in an excellent mood that Jiang Yao's nap was exceptionally long. It was as if she had opened her eyes in the blink of an eye after two hours. When she awoke, the aroma of the kitchen filled her room.
Jiang Yao was about to dash to the kitchen to see what they had done when Lu Xingzhi dragged her back and forced her to put on slippers before letting her feet touch the ground.
